In a secluded corner of the Borghigiana countryside, at the end of a white road that winds through woods and fields inhabited by deer and wild boars, lies the Bed & Breakfast Il Pittore, housed in a beautifully restored old farmhouse by the welcoming family. Here, time appears to slow down: the air is crisp, the silence profound, and the night offers a sky dotted with bright stars.

The rooms, each with a private bathroom, maintain the rustic charm of the ancient building, enhanced by warm colors and romantic details that create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Every space is designed to make guests feel at home, with small acts of daily care and genuine attention.

In the morning, breakfast is a special occasion: freshly baked pastries, homemade cakes, and, upon request, savory options that can be enjoyed in the cozy dining room or outside in the lush garden. Daisy, the hostess, loves baking and is happy to share some recipes with her guests.

A stay at B&B Il Pittore is enriched by authentic experiences related to the local area: tastings at an organic farm and winery, basket-weaving workshops, guided excursions with picnics, cooking classes, and bike routes in Mugello. Art and history enthusiasts can explore Medici sites, Romanesque churches, local museums, or the birthplaces of Giotto and Beato Angelico, while just a few kilometers away is the Mugello International Racetrack, a perfect destination for motorsport fans.

For those looking to unwind, the nearby Lago del Bilancino offers beaches, water sports, and birdwatching opportunities. Shopping is convenient, thanks to the proximity of major outlets in the area. The peaceful yet strategic location allows for easy access to Florence, making Il Pittore an ideal choice for those seeking tranquility, authenticity, and beauty.

Area Campagna

The area surrounding Il Pittore is a genuine corner of the countryside in Borgo San Lorenzo, where nature maintains a slow and quiet pace, perfect for those seeking a break from the noise and hustle of daily life. The woods that open up beyond the dirt road are crisscrossed by paths ideal for leisurely walks or longer hikes, featuring streams, ancient chestnut groves, and landscapes that transform with the seasons. It’s not uncommon to spot deer in the early morning or catch sight of wild boars in the clearings.

The region is rich in historical and cultural landmarks: just a few kilometers away are the birthplaces of artists like Giotto, Benvenuto Cellini, and Fra Angelico, along with small museums and artisan workshops that showcase ancient crafts and living traditions. The Romanesque churches, solitary convents, and stone villages preserve the atmosphere of a past that still lingers here.

For sports and adrenaline enthusiasts, the Mugello racetrack is easily accessible, serving as a hub for international motorsport events. Those who prefer aquatic activities will find Lake Bilancino to be an ideal spot for sunbathing, engaging in water sports, or enjoying birdwatching in the WWF Oasis.

Its strategic location also makes it easy to visit Florence, which is reachable in under an hour, while shopping enthusiasts can indulge in retail therapy at the nearby outlets in Barberino and The Mall.

This region, suspended between nature and culture, is a perfect destination for those seeking authenticity, beauty, and a genuine connection with the Tuscan landscape.
